v1.5 release snapshot: 154 tools · 6 resources · 5 prompt templates · 1369 collected tests. 154 is the registered count. A default install advertises 149 over tools/list, because ENABLE_3D is unset and the five solid_* tools stay hidden. system_about is the runtime authority.

Why this exists

Two problems, both measured before a line was written.

A big MCP server is expensive to be connected to. The full catalog puts an estimated 40,305 tokens on the wire before the client has asked for anything, of which about 25,143 are the part a client actually forwards to the model — 149 advertised tools at ~169 tokens of name, description and input schema each. Turning on discovery replaces that catalog with two tools and 356 wire tokens.

A drafter searches for WBLOCK, not for block_create_from_entities. WBLOCK, PEDIT, OVERKILL, LAYTRANS and MATCHPROP appeared in no tool name or description, so they scored df = 0 against a stock text index — not badly ranked, absent. No amount of tuning finds a word that is not in the data, so the fix was data: an authored corpus of 158 distinct AutoCAD command names and 672 synonym phrases covering all 154 tools, layered onto the index. A test holds that df=0 list honest in both directions — it fails if one of those commands becomes findable without the corpus, and it fails if the corpus stops covering one.

Advertised surface	Tools a client sees	tools/list on the wire
TOOL_PROFILE=full (default)	149	40,305 tokens
TOOL_PROFILE=lean	47	12,131 tokens
DISCOVERY_MODE=search	2	356 tokens

[!NOTE] Token figures are estimates from an offline ratio counter (ratio/v1), not tokenizer counts — characters are the measured unit and the report says so. Under prompt caching the idle term is largely amortised, so read 113× as the uncached wire ratio, not a bill. python -m benchmarks.token_suite --tokenizer anthropic counts for real, but it needs the anthropic package and credentials, neither of which is in this repo's lock — it refuses rather than silently falling back.

Headless anywhere, or live AutoCAD on Windows:

AUTOCAD_MCP_BACKEND=ezdxf autocad-mcp    # portable DXF engine, no AutoCAD needed
AUTOCAD_MCP_BACKEND=com   autocad-mcp    # live AutoCAD (pip install "autocad-mcp-pro[com]")

Extra	Pulls in	For
(none)	fastmcp, ezdxf, pydantic	Headless DXF on any OS — no rendering
[com]	pywin32, Pillow	Live AutoCAD control + window capture
[pdf]	matplotlib	PDF export and headless PNG rendering, any platform
[full]	everything above	Live AutoCAD and rendering in one install

[!NOTE] The bare install cannot draw pixels. ezdxf.addons.drawing.frontend does an unconditional top-level import PIL.Image, so Pillow is required by every ezdxf render path — PNG screenshot and PDF export alike — not just by the COM window capture it is listed under. Add [pdf] (or [full]) if you want images on Linux or macOS.

From a checkout: pip install -e ".[full]" on Windows, or pip install -e ".[pdf]" elsewhere, then python server.py. ([com] and [full] carry a sys_platform == "win32" marker on pywin32, so they resolve everywhere — they simply install nothing Windows-specific off Windows.)

What you get

Area	What it does
Drawing lifecycle	create, open, save, export DXF/PDF, audit (now repairs), purge; undo/redo live on COM and opt-in headless via EZDXF_UNDO_DEPTH
Geometry	lines, arcs, polylines, splines, hatches, trim/extend/fillet/chamfer, handle-preserving edits
Annotation	ISO 129 toleranced dimensions, ISO 286 fits (fit="H7"), TABLE, MLEADER, GD&T frames and datums (ISO 1101)
Engineering generators	involute gears (front + section A-A), DIN 6885 keyed bores, ISO A3 title block
Discovery ✨	search_tools ranked over an AutoCAD command and synonym corpus — FILLET, BPOLY, QSELECT, WBLOCK, OVERKILL, CHSPACE each rank #1 of the 154-tool registry
Batching ✨	cad_batch runs a whole step list in one round trip; fields= projects the response on 11 result-heavy tools (a closed, gated list)
Paper space ✨	8 of the 12 layout tools are new — layout_delete/rename/copy, viewport_list/set_scale/lock/delete, entity_change_space (CHSPACE, headless only); layout listing, creation and activation, viewport_create and drawing_export_pdf(layout=...) shipped in v1.4.0, which wrongly declared headless viewport rendering impossible
Selection ✨	window vs crossing stated back to the caller; the polygon is tested as a shape, not as its bounding box — the entity side is still its bounding box, on both engines
Boundaries ✨	boundary_trace (BOUNDARY/BPOLY) chains loose edges into one closed polyline; ARC edges keep their exact bulges, while a bulged polyline segment or any other curved edge is chained as its chord — headless engine only
Measurement ✨	analysis_measure_entity measures what is in the drawing, by handle
Hatch depth ✨	gradients, in-place edits and island styles on both; typed edge boundaries headless only
Annotation objects ✨	WIPEOUT, REVCLOUD, MTEXT background masks — headless only, ActiveX exposes no member — plus text find/replace on both
3D solids	solid_box/cylinder/extrude/revolve/boolean on live AutoCAD (ENABLE_3D=true) — unverified against a live seat: they shipped in v1.4.0, and the v1.5.0 live run covered only what that release added
Quality loop	drawing_preflight → drawing_plan → drawing_critique → drawing_refine → drawing_finalize (0–100 score)
Delivery	drawing_deliver: DXF/PDF/PNG + SHA-256 manifest + reopen-parity checks

_{✨ = new in v1.5.0. 154 tools across 19 groups — entity_creation 18, entity_modification 15, layers 14, analysis 12, layouts 12, premium 12, drawing 11, engineering 10, blocks 8, entity_query 8, system 7, dimensions 5, solids 5, corner_ops 4, view 4, batch 3, transactions 3, templates 2, validation 1.}

Alongside the tools, 6 MCP resources cost nothing in the tool budget and are browsable at any time — autocad://drawing/info, autocad://layers, autocad://blocks, autocad://entities/stats, autocad://entities/{layer_name}, autocad://system/status — plus 5 prompt templates (prompt_mechanical_drawing, prompt_floor_plan, prompt_electrical_schematic, prompt_pid_diagram, prompt_quick_drawing).

Two rules worth knowing before you draw

Coordinates come out in WCS, and the exceptions are declared rather than hidden. DXF stores CIRCLE / ARC / LWPOLYLINE / TEXT / INSERT geometry in a per-entity frame, and before v1.5.0 the word extrusion appeared nowhere in this codebase, so a mirrored or rotated entity reported coordinates that were quietly wrong. An entity in a plane tilted out of WCS XY now reports plane_normal and omits the fields xy cannot express, rather than answering with a number that looks fine.

Three things stay in the entity frame on purpose, and system_capabilities' ocs_normalized reason string is the live list: TEXT rotation (a mirrored TEXT is mirror-imaged, and no single scalar angle expresses that), z components, and HATCH boundary geometry. On the live backend that same reason string also records 2d_polyline_coordinates_not_verified_against_live_autocad — read it at runtime rather than trusting this paragraph.

Never read vertices back and shoelace them. That loses 28.2% of the area on a semicircular edge, silently. analysis_measure_entity(handle) reads the real geometry and states its own accuracy: exact, flatten_tolerance, assumed_closed, self_intersecting.

The two engines

One contract, split across 19 modules in backends/contracts/. Most are ABCs; gdt.py and settings.py are concrete shared mixins rather than interfaces. Optional methods are declarative — @capability(key, reason=...) supplies a default that refuses — and a test holds the two backends' capability key sets equal, so a key cannot exist on one engine and be forgotten on the other.

There are 27 capability keys. system_capabilities returns the live map, and you should read it at runtime rather than trusting the table below, because five of the 27 depend on how the machine is set up:

Capability	COM (live AutoCAD)	ezdxf (headless)
Live document control	✅	—
Cross-platform, no AutoCAD	—	✅
Transactions and rollback	✅ undo mark; rollback sends _UNDO B and AutoCAD never confirms it landed — best-effort, not atomic	✅ full DXF snapshot, restored synchronously
Paper-space layouts + viewports	✅	✅
Viewport model-content rendering	✅	✅ ᵐ (no viewport borders)
Selection window / crossing / polygon	✅	✅
Entity area by handle	ActiveX .Area	Analytic, bulges included
HATCH filled area (islands subtracted)	AutoCAD's own number — measured: a r20 hatch with an r10 island returns 942.478, so the island is subtracted	Loops walked, hatch_style reported
REGION area	✅ .Area + .Perimeter, verified on a seat	— ACIS is opaque to ezdxf
3DSOLID surface area	— ActiveX exposes .Volume only; use MASSPROP	—
3D solids	✅ only with ENABLE_3D=true	— no headless ACIS
DWG write	✅	— no DWG writer
WIPEOUT	— AddWipeout verified absent, AutoCAD 2026	✅
MTEXT background colour	— BackgroundFillColor verified absent, AutoCAD 2026	✅
REVCLOUD, BPOLY / boundary tracing	— no ActiveX member; command-line only	✅
CHSPACE (entity_change_space)	— unverified against a live seat	✅ ᶜ
Undo history	✅	opt-in — EZDXF_UNDO_DEPTH defaults to 0
TABLE and MLEADER	Native	Portable composite
Raw commands / AutoLISP	✅ on by default, denylist-sanitized — DANGEROUS_COMMANDS_ENABLED=true removes the denylist	— no live command line
Screenshots and PDF export	AutoCAD window capture	Matplotlib render ᵐ

_{ᵐ Needs matplotlib — the [pdf] or [full] extra. Without it png, pdf, viewport_render and handle_overlay all report unsupported on the headless engine.
ᶜ The headless CHSPACE carries four named restrictions in its own capability reason: top-view untwisted viewports only, dimensions refused unless frozen, ACIS/proxy/table refused, and viewport clipping reported rather than applied.}

[!IMPORTANT] The COM paths added in v1.5.0 were executed against a live AutoCAD 2026 before release — two documented exceptions aside: the AcDbLWPolyline OCS→WCS translation in entity_get and the COM half of block_create_from_entities ship unit-tested against a fake ActiveX object, not hardware-verified. The live run was 25 calls: 18 succeeded, 1 refused a specific argument, and 6 refused with the capability keys they declare. That run found four defects, three of which no amount of reading would have caught (the fourth was analysis_list_properties calling a helper that does not exist on ComBackend) — the largest being that AcadPViewport has no ViewCenter member, so the line setting it had been silently swallowed by a bare except since v1.4.

Evidence

Every chart below is rendered to SVG by Python from committed data — none is hand-edited. The numbers are not all script output, and the two exceptions are marked where they appear: section 4 quotes timings collected by hand across separate runs, and section 5 is a hand-assigned source review whose nine scores are literals in source_review.json that the renderer validates and draws but does not compute.

1 · Live-run scores

Server	Matrix	Pinned	Score	Pass
autocad-mcp-pro (this repo)	v3 · 15 tasks	working tree	100.0	15/15
beiming183-cloud/AutoCAD-MCP	v2 · 10 tasks	11f7c47	50.0	5/10
puran-water/autocad-mcp	v2 · 10 tasks	95476a3	45.0	4/10

[!WARNING] Read the matrix column before the score column. The five v3 tasks are new in v1.5.0; the competitor runs are from 2026-07-23 against pinned competitor commits, and were never put to them. Their scores are over the ten tasks they actually ran, and the five new rows render blank rather than as zeros — an invented zero is indistinguishable from a measured one. These bars do not share a denominator, which is why each one carries its matrix.

Competitors are driven black-box over MCP stdio against the tool contracts read from their pinned source, at 50% coverage on both: five of the ten tasks per competitor are recorded unsupported — the operation is absent from that checkout, or refused by it — and those rows score zero against a denominator of ten, so 50.0 and 45.0 are coverage-weighted, not ten measured attempts. Over the tasks actually driven, beiming scores 100.0 and puran-water 90.0. Where a task does run, every geometry claim the competitor makes is re-derived by re-opening the exported DXF with ezdxf inside the harness — their own tool output is never the source of truth. This repo's row is not run that way: it runs in-process against the backend, and 13 of its 15 tasks assert on backend return values rather than on a re-opened DXF (only dxf_roundtrip and auditable_delivery write a file at all). What is independent there is the expected value — a closed-form area, entities placed on purpose, a token ceiling fixed before the measurement — not the observation. A capability refusal is recorded unsupported, not fail — "cannot reach this" and "got this wrong" are different findings. That classification is written into the adapter from the competitor's pinned source; a refusal that only appears at runtime becomes unsupported where the adapter recognises it (beiming's E_UNSUPPORTED on transaction begin is the one that did) and lands as fail otherwise.

2 · Task matrix — where the score comes from

v2 scored this repo 10/10, and that number carried no information: every task in it exercised something the server was built around. v3 adds five tasks chosen because they can fail — and two of them did, while being written: hatch_islands (a HATCH could not be measured at all) and measure_from_handle (the boundary tools and the measurement tool disagreed about the same shape). A third measurement defect fixed in the same release — a circle stored as two bulged vertices measured 0.0 — is carried by two_vertex_circle_has_area in the correctness suite, not by a benchmark task.

v3 task	Verified against
tool_discovery	six AutoCAD command names, each ranking #1 of the 154-tool registry the harness ranks (pass bar is top-3)
token_budget	40,305 → 356 tokens advertised, against a 2,000 ceiling fixed in advance
hatch_islands	300 filled with the island, 400 ignoring it
selection_filter	window 1, crossing 2, bounding box 3, polygon 1
measure_from_handle	139.2699 against the 100.0 a vertex shoelace gives

3 · Correctness A/B — every release re-proves itself

26 deterministic headless checks against the previous tag and the current tree, each in its own subprocess so a hard crash counts as a miss rather than killing the run.

v1.5.1 release gate, baseline v1.5.0 (report):

Version	Checks passing	Pass rate	Fixed	Regressed
v1.5.0 (baseline)	24 / 26	92.3 %	—	—
v1.5.1 (this release)	26 / 26	100 %	2	0

v1.5.0 fails two of these, and they are the reason it is yanked: diameter_dim_measures_the_diameter and radius_dim_ignores_the_leader_length. It has both methods and gets both wrong — leader_length, a text placement, was being measured as geometry, so at default settings every diameter callout came out 2 × leader_length too large (60 on a true ⌀40). v1.4.0 shipped the same defect. The live COM backend was never affected.

Against the older v1.4.0 baseline the same suite reports 21 / 26 ᵃ with five fixed (report) — three of those five are new capability rather than repairs: v1.4.0 has no entity_measure and no boundary tracing, so it misses them by not having the method.

_{ᵃ Against the 26-check current suite. v1.4.0 passed 21/21 of the checks that existed when it shipped.}

The 21 pre-existing checks are unchanged and all still pass: the discovery layer, cad_batch, the 19-module contract split, layouts/viewports and Wave A landed with zero correctness regressions.

4 · Headless performance

Workload	Wall time	Result
Create 2,000 lines (individual calls)	0.35 s	~5,716 entities/s
10,000 lines: build + DXF export + reopen	2.18 s	~4,591 entities/s end-to-end
Region query over 10,000 entities	2.47 s	2,500 matched
Premium pass (layers + part + dims + full critique)	0.26 s	0 issues

_{One run of each workload — perf_suite executes each exactly once per invocation, and these are the figures in the committed perf-ezdxf.json. Run-to-run spread on this machine is wide enough to matter: treat them as an order of magnitude, not a stopwatch.}

Workloads call the same backend methods the MCP tools call, so the backend's own per-call overhead — worker-thread hand-off, document lock, the EZDXF_CALL_TIMEOUT guard — is included. The FastMCP layer above it is not: perf_suite.py never builds the server, so tool dispatch, argument validation, the five middleware and result serialization all sit outside the timer, and in-process they cost roughly an order of magnitude more than the backend call itself. Read these as backend-engine numbers, not per-tool-call latency. Self-measurement only — competitor servers pay an extra stdio serialization cost that in-process runs do not, so no cross-server timing claims are made.

[!CAUTION] These are not an improvement over v1.4.0, and they are not the engine's floor. The per-call timeout guard costs about 21% of entity-creation throughput — see what this release is bad at for the paired measurement and why the guard is kept.

5 · Source-review leaderboard

Nine public AutoCAD MCP projects against a fixed 100-point rubric — CAD breadth (25), correctness and delivery (20), backends/platforms (15), engineering production (15), tests and maintenance (15), security and operations (10). Stars and raw tool counts score nothing. Data and dates in benchmarks/source_review.json.

This table is not re-scored per release — no row is, including the other eight. This repository's row is still the one written against v1.4.0. Raising our own number for v1.5.0 would mean re-reviewing eight other projects the same day to keep it fair, and that has not been done — so the score stays where the evidence is.

Method, caveats and boundaries for every lane: benchmarks/README.md.

What this release is bad at

A page that only lists strengths is a page that has not been measured.

Entity creation is ~21% slower than it would be without the call timeout. The timeout is what stops one hung ezdxf call wedging a server whose document lock is a single asyncio.Lock, and it is not free. Measured on one interpreter, three runs of each configuration with the median taken by hand (perf_suite runs each workload once per invocation — it cannot produce a median itself):

Workload	EZDXF_CALL_TIMEOUT=0	default (120 s)	Cost
2,000 lines	243.7 ms	294.3 ms	+20.8%
10,000-line roundtrip	1,709.6 ms	2,049.2 ms	+19.9%

v1.5.0 paid 28.6% on the first workload; v1.5.1 rebuilt the wrapper around a single asyncio.timeout_at instead of two asyncio.wait_fors — wait_for wraps its awaitable in a Task, so the old shape created two extra Tasks and two timer handles on every call. That recovered about a third of the overhead and fixed a latent double-release, but it did not close the gap: the remaining cost is the Task the abandon-on-timeout design genuinely needs. The knob is documented rather than hidden, and the item stays open.

These figures are hand-collected across separate single-shot runs and have no published artifact; benchmarks/results/published/perf-ezdxf.json records one default-configuration run only.

The README on main through the v1.4 era printed slower numbers than the table above — 0.64 s and 13.9 s for the same two workloads. That looks like a 2–6× win and is not one: the old report was recorded on CPython 3.14 and this one on 3.11.15. Almost entirely the interpreter, not code — run on one interpreter, this release is slower than v1.4.0 on both workloads, not faster. Comparing the two published files directly is the mistake this paragraph exists to stop.

Wave A shipped 13 tools of a planned ~39. Every cut is backed by a measurement. The REGION and 2D-boolean family went because add_region() produces a REGION with zero ACIS bytes, and the substitute, greiner_hormann, takes and returns flat vertex lists, so a bulged edge goes in as its chord: 28.2% of the area on a square with one semicircular edge — shipping it would have re-created the exact class of silent error this release's honesty pass exists to delete. Of the planned measurement family only analysis_measure_entity shipped — measuring a drawn entity by handle, which neither backend could do — and the centroid and moment-of-inertia tools were cut with nothing replacing them. Of the eight analysis_* tools that already existed, the two tagged measure both measured points the caller typed in.

system_run_command / system_run_lisp are a guardrail, not a security boundary — the rejection message clients receive says so in those words. A 36-verb command denylist and a 24-pattern AutoLISP denylist refuse the obviously destructive cases, but AutoCAD accepts hundreds of commands and any loaded ARX/LISP adds more, so the list cannot be complete, and DANGEROUS_COMMANDS_ENABLED=true switches both off entirely.

Path validation is per-tool, and unscoped until you scope it. Nine tools call validate_path; nothing in the middleware enforces it server-wide. With ALLOWED_PATHS empty — the default — the only positive bound is a ten-entry system-directory denylist that does not include C:/Users, /home, /root or /var. Set ALLOWED_PATHS. It is the setting that actually scopes the filesystem.

Non-AutoCAD ProgIDs are unverified. CAD_PROGID changes which COM application the backend attaches to — the configured ProgID is used at both GetActiveObject and Dispatch, and an unrecognised one fails loudly rather than falling back to AutoCAD. Nothing has been tested against BricsCAD, ZWCAD or GstarCAD, the connection included: no running seat of any of them was ever attached to. They are listed in .env.example commented out and marked UNVERIFIED.

The drawing at the top of this page, as tool calls

Not pseudocode — this is the sequence in scripts/render_readme_showcase.py, which produced the sheet in the hero image:

drawing_new()                                    fresh document, ISO linetypes + layers bootstrapped
drawing_apply_iso_layers("mech")                 ISO 128 lineweights per layer
drawing_settings({units: "mm", linear_precision: 2})

gear_draw_spur_front_view(                       involute flanks, not a decorated circle
    module=6, teeth=24, center=[135, 172],
    bore_diameter=40, keyway_width=12, keyway_depth=3.3)
gear_draw_section_aa(x_offset=300, face_width=46)

dimension_linear(...)                            ISO 129
dimension_diameter(..., fit="H7")                deviations from authored ISO 286 tables
titleblock_apply_iso_a3(title="SPUR GEAR m6 z24", material="C45E", ...)

drawing_critique(focus=None)                     -> []  must be empty before finalize
view_screenshot()                                -> PNG

The full production loop adds drawing_preflight and drawing_plan at the front (the plan is held by the backend and replayed by drawing_critique at finalize time), drawing_refine after the critique, and layout_create + viewport_create + drawing_deliver at the end for a hashed, reopen-verified handoff.

Development

uv.lock pins the whole transitive graph — runtime and dev tools — so this reproduces CI exactly rather than approximately:

uv sync --locked --all-extras
uv run pytest
uv run ruff check . && uv run ruff format --check .

CI runs on Linux (3.11 / 3.12), Windows (mocked-COM suite), plus package, Docker and MCP-registry-schema jobs. The package job deliberately stays unlocked — it is the one that proves a plain pip install autocad-mcp-pro still resolves. A scheduled deps-floating workflow resolves the ranges fresh and re-runs the suite, so a locked CI does not become blindness to upstream drift. Releases are tag-driven: git tag vX.Y.Z && git push origin vX.Y.Z.

Roadmap (1.6)

Give back the 25% creation throughput the per-call timeout costs — arm it only for calls that can actually block. ISO 286 interference shafts r/s/t/u (they need sub-stepped table data nothing in the module can derive; 1.5 refuses them by name instead of guessing). HATCH boundary geometry in entity_get — 1.5 measures a hatch's filled area but still does not hand back its loops. REGION/3DSOLID area headlessly, which needs a modelling kernel ezdxf does not have. An allowlist of permitted AutoLISP heads, replacing the denylist — enumerating dangerous symbols does not terminate. ezdxf.recover as a fallback on drawing_open.

Features are published when their contracts and limitations are testable — not when they make a longer checklist.
